I got the 2017 Domane ALR 3 as my first road bike to get more into the sport and to get my fitness in check. Overall I am extremely happy with my purchase. I had a couple small issues with the shimano sora groupset slipping on a couple climbs and the front derailleur rubbing the chain. Only minor adjustments needed to fix and now the bike rides and shifts great! Would definitely recommend this bike. Bigger guys like myself will not enjoy the stock seat but luckily I had one that I liked at home.
